Ideas for Family Scripture Study and Home Evening

Song:

“I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go,” Hymns, no. 270

Prayer:

Thought/Scripture:

Doctrine and Covenants 14:1–4.

Consider inviting your family to find phrases related to farming in these verses.

Why might the Lord compare His work to a harvest?

What can we do to help in His work?

Lesson:

Doctrine and Covenants 14:2

The word of God is “quick and powerful.”

The Lord compared His word to a “two-edged sword” (Doctrine and Covenants 14:2).

What does this comparison suggest to you about the word of God?

For instance, how is His word quick, powerful, and sharp?

How have you experienced the power of God’s word?

Consider other ways God describes His word. For example, what do you learn about God’s word from the comparisons in the following passages?

How do these scripture passages inspire us to “give heed” to the word of God?

Psalm 119:105

Isaiah 55:10–11

Matthew 4:4

1 Nephi 15:23–24

Alma 32:28

Doctrine and Covenants 14:2.

The activity for this verse in “Ideas for Personal Scripture Study” lists some scripture passages about the word of God. Maybe family members could read them and share what they learn.

Doctrine and Covenants 15:6; 16:6.

These verses could inspire a conversation about things that are of most worth to your family (see also Doctrine and Covenants 18:10).

Doctrine and Covenants 17.

Your family might enjoy drawing pictures of each of the items the Three Witnesses saw (see verse 1). As you read section 17, look for phrases that teach about the importance of the Book of Mormon. How can we be witnesses of the Book of Mormon? Your family could also watch the video “A Day for the Eternities” (ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
